New-London, August 30.  We hear from Windham, that on the
morning of the 26th instant, a certain ever memorable and
most respectable gentleman, made his appearance in effigy .
. . spread misery and poverty among his friends and brethren
of this colony, by collecting from them the small remains of
wealth they are now possessed of.
  Now as each beast of prey, tho' pinch'd for food,
  Yet spares his brother native of the wood;
  So holds he still close union with the devil,
  To virtue only and his friends uncivil.
